Caterpillar glue, green, 250 g can - to protect your trees

This crawling glue is intended to combat all insects that crawl along the trunk. The product description lists specific pests such as winter moths and ants, for which an effect is confirmed.

The optimal time is before the pest infestation begins, typically in spring or before the pests' autumn migration. This way the tree is protected in good time.

One can contains 250 g of glue. This amount is typically sufficient for use on several smaller trees, depending on the width of application.

The product description does not provide any specific information on the adhesive strength at sub-zero temperatures. The glue weathers over time and dries after about six months, which characterizes its effectiveness over this period.

The caterpillar glue is designed as a creeping glue. It only catches insects that actively crawl into it. Other insects, such as beneficial insects looking for a landing spot, do not stick immediately and can escape again, which also prevents bridge formation.

The glue is not harmful to beneficial insects and birds when used correctly. It represents a purely mechanical barrier for crawling pests, without chemical agents.

Yes, the glue is weatherproof. It retains its effectiveness even in adverse conditions such as wind and direct sunlight.

Yes, the glue is designed as a plant protection product to protect trees and can also be used on young trees to protect them from caterpillars.

The glue is colored green, as can be seen from the product name. The color itself has no other stated function.

With a 250g can, depending on the application thickness and bark structure, several meters of trunk circumference can be covered. For a medium-sized tree (approx. 30 cm trunk diameter), it is enough for about 2-3 applications.

The glue forms a physical barrier and is not toxic. For birds or bees, it is not harmful when used correctly on the trunk, as these animals usually avoid the glue ring.

No, the caterpillar glue is formulated so that it does not damage the bark and can be left on the tree long-term. It serves to protect your trees.

Smaller, beneficial insects can often free themselves. For larger animals, the glue can be carefully dissolved with a thin oil, or you can renew the glue in that spot.

The product is designed to protect trees and is therefore also applicable to ornamental trees, provided they are infested with caterpillars.

Yes, the caterpillar glue is weatherproof and retains its adhesive strength even in rain. It forms a reliable barrier over a longer period of time without being washed away.

Yes, the caterpillar glue is compostable. You can dispose of it in the garden without hesitation after use.

For optimal ant repellent, the gardener's tip recommends applying the glue ring at least 10 cm high and 2 mm thick. This is important because ants can more easily overcome narrower layers of glue due to their clumsy gait.

For trees with very cracked bark, it is recommended to use the glue in conjunction with the caterpillar glue belt paper. This ensures a consistently effective barrier and prevents the glue from flowing into deep bark cracks.

Yes, the glue is applied directly to the cleaned tree bark. Ensure a smooth, dust-free surface for optimal adhesion and a continuous layer of glue.

The glue is intended as a plant protection product to protect your trees. Damage to the tree bark is therefore not to be expected when used as intended.

No, you don't have to worry. The caterpillar glue is 100% plant-compatible and does not affect the growth or health of your trees in any way.

The adhesive usually lasts reliably for an entire growing season. Renewal is recommended in case of heavy soiling or after about 6-12 months, usually in autumn or spring.

No, the glue is expressly earthworm-friendly. Earthworms do not stick and are not damaged by the glue.

The glue is generally intended to protect your trees from caterpillars. The type of tree, whether fruit or ornamental, is not restrictive.

Yes, you can apply the glue immediately to prevent further ascent of the caterpillars. Make sure there is a continuous layer of glue about 5-10 cm wide around the trunk.

Yes, this glue is also suitable for young trees. Make sure not to apply the glue to very thin, still green bark, but to the already lignified trunk area.

Yes, the glue is ideal for all deciduous and coniferous trees as well as larger shrubs with a visible, solid trunk. A seamless application is important for effective protection.

The glue is often viscous when cold. To make it spreadable, we recommend warming the can in a warm water bath or in the sun before use. This makes it easier and more even to apply.

Apply a ring about 5 to 10 cm wide and about 1 mm thick directly to the trunk. A 250g can is enough for around 5 to 7 meters of trunk circumference (roughly calculated: at 5 cm width and 1 mm thickness, it's about 5 meters).

The glue is explicitly designed to protect your trees from caterpillars. A specific suitability for bushes is not specified.
